Tried several searches and never found a post by soemone who had even seen one in person, much less owned and used one. So is there anyone out there who has tried the Summit scope?

I have used Schmidt & Bender, Swaro, Zeiss, and many others and I love the S&B more than the others. The problem with them is that they weight a ton. but that gives them a toughness that i field tested once when i fell on a snow covdered rock. Had to be sent to germany for repairs but has been going strong ever since.

I have been using the Swaro 1" line to save weight. It is my favorite 1" scope, but i am hoping S&B can get their 1" scope to be as good as their 30mm models. If so then they are a bargain at $1500.

I bought one at one of the DSC nightly auctions. I havent mounted it yet, but plan sending it to the guy who is building my current gun. Its clear but thats what youd expect in a S&B. Just looking through it at low light its clear as well, but like i said i havent hunted with it yet.

tx308: How is the eye relief? I have not seen one but was told by a dealer he felt eye relief was a little short.

Its fine for what i am using it for(300 WSM). It seems to be about the norm when you are talking about S&B and Swarovski etc. Ill know more in about another month when my rifle is ready.

eagerly awaiting your range and field report of the scope!

just out of curiosity, do you know the company that had it in the auction? I am just wondering who is getting and selling them in the US

Marc, Call Alex Roy at Euro Optics 570-220-3159. He has them in stock. Great guy I have purchased many scopes from him. When I wanted a 6-24x long range scope he sent me a S&B 5-25x and Ziess Victory 6-24x. Crazy thing was He told me just to send him the one back I didn't want and send a check for the one I was keeping. I had 5k worth of optics to compare and he trusted me to send check and one back. I'm a customer for life!!! Good luck Jason.

Im pretty certain it was donated by european optics. Gun should be finished in about a week and a half. Ill do a report when it comes in.
